Anyone had experience of re-sealing master cylinder on hyster?
My problem is very poor pedal. I have replaced both wheel cylinders, re-lined shoes, bled & adjusted up. Still same.
I have just picked up M/C seal kit, removed master cylinder and stripped.
It looks like someone else has been in and re-sealed recently.
What I am not sure about is the direction of seals.
On the first (outer) piston both seals are facing inwards as expected, but on the inner piston the seals dont look right, the bottom seal is facing bottom of cylinder, & top seal is facing outer piston.
I have re-built exactly same but still have poor pedal.
Any help would be appreciated.
